3D printing gets a big boost at CES 2017

The CES 3D printer marketplace is a great venue for getting an overview of what’s new and innovative in 3D printing. Unfortunately, industry leader 3D Systems didn’t return this year, but there were plenty of other players — old and new — that showed off what is now possible in printing solid objects. We’ve already covered the Ability 3D prototype, but here are the others we found particularly interesting:

When I 3D printed my first color object, I had to send it to a service bureau and it was very expensive. XYZ Printing is trying to change that, with an inexpensive color 3D printer suitable for home and hobbyist use. The printer is limited to using two colors, but with its software you can also create any shade that lays between the two primary color materials you load. The da Vinci Junior 2.0 Mix sells for $450.
